About 9,500 years ago, farmers had a problem of dealing with rats. Rats stole their crops and destroyed their goods so they could not sell them. Then wild cats solved that problem. Cats drove away the rats so the farmers looked after them in return. As time passed, cats became more familiar with humans and they became pets for families.

As the rats made people annoying, they were not wanted to survive near the peoples' surrounding. So, some farmers in the past figured out the ways how to drive the rats away. Then, they noticed that cats really enjoy mice and got the idea to have wild cats at their house or farms so that they didn't need to worry about the rats which would destroy their chops.
